“…On the other hand, model-to-model transformations (M2M) allow translating models into another set of models, typically closer to the solution domain or that satisfy specific needs for different stakeholders. These transformations are specified through distinct languages, such as the mainstream programming languages, but also by specialized model transformation languages, for different purposes and with different modeling paradigms such as QVT, 1 Acceleo, 2 ATL, 3 VIATRA, 4 DSLTrans 5 as extensively discussed by Syriani and others [76,36,15,23,2].…”

Keywords:Model Metamodel Modeling language Software system Model-driven engineering Model-driven approaches a b s t r a c t During the last decade a new trend of approaches has emerged, which considers models not just documentation artefacts, but also central artefacts in the software engineering field, allowing the creation or automatic execution of software systems starting from those models. These proposals have been classified generically as Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) and share common concepts and terms that need to be abstracted, discussed and understood. This paper presents a survey on MDE based on a unified conceptual model that clearly identifies and relates these essential concepts, namely the concepts of system, model, metamodel, modeling language, transformations, software platform, and software product. In addition, this paper discusses the terminologies relating MDE, MDD, MDA and others. This survey is based on earlier work, however, contrary to those, it intends to give a simple, broader and integrated view of the essential concepts and respective terminology commonly involved in the MDE, answering to key questions such as: What is a model? What is the relation between a model and a metamodel? What are the key facets of a modeling language? How can I use models in the context of a software development process? What are the relations between models and source code artefacts and software platforms? and What are the relations between MDE, MDD, MDA and other MD approaches?

“…Model Transformation forms the heart and soul of Model Driven Development [5,18] and promotes reusability [19]. Standards for creating meta-models such as the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) exist but, no mature foundation for specifying model transformations [18] not explicit model transformation languages exist [20]. Major difficulties in reusing model transformations due to structural differences between input metamodels have been reported [20].…”

“…TS [34] is a novel way of organizing concepts for comparing complex solution approaches and forms a body of knowledge comprising languages and transformation facilities. In IT and AI implementations, transformations are hard-coded [20] and not reusable [19] in discrete domain. Modeling CPS in continuous-time or hybrid domains as shown in this paper are difficult to model and transform using the tools above and will pose serious consistency issues.…”

Major difficulties in reusing model transformations due to structural differences between input metamodels have been reported [20]. Theoretically, MDA is a general framework [21] for UML or non-UML models; but the technological complexities and MOF domination make non-UML implementations rare [22].…”

“…However, UML does not allow Classes to own attributes with identical names. A possible solution, suggested by Kühne et al [28], would be to relax the host metamodel constraints. Because this solution breaks the principle of syntax transparency, it is not adopted by VMTL.…”
